Shiv Sena's Chaturvedi lashes out at BJP MPs protesting Rahul Gandhi's 'Rape In India'

Shiv Sena leader Priyanka Chaturvedi has questioned the BJP MPs who have been protesting against Rahul Gandhi's shocking 'Rape In India' remark in Parliament. She also launched an attack at the Union Minister of Women and Child Development, Smriti Irani, and said that instead of advocating for the rights of women, the minister is leading a protest against the people who are talking about the matter. Elaborating on the issue, Chaturvedi, in another tweet, shared the data underlining the increase in the number of MPs who have committed crimes against women in India.

Rahul Gandhi's 'Rape In India' comment

Politicising rape, former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday, said that PM Modi's 'Make in India' scheme had failed as it had become 'rape in India' while addressing a rally in poll-bound Jharkhand. His comment comes days after he had termed India as the 'rape capital of the world'. His insensitive comments have been made amid growing demand for hanging Nirbhaya's rape convicts and the horrific gangrape and murder of the 25-year old Hyderabad doctor, among others.

"Wherever you see in the nation, Narendra Modi had said Make in India. But now wherever you see, 'Make in India' is not happening, it is 'Rape in India'," he said. He has time and again blamed the Prime Minister for the spike in rape cases in India.
